Junior Data Engineer vs Data Analyst / Analytics Engineer — which is a better entry path for me?

Hello everyone, I’m seeking guidance on choosing the right entry-level data career path. I want to understand whether preparing for junior Data Engineer roles would be a better option for me compared to Data Analyst or Analytics Engineer roles, especially in terms of getting an entry-level/junior role more easily. My background: B.Sc. in Electronics and communications (graduated in 2020) Volunteered full-time at a non-profit organization since 2021 Last 2 years: managing events, handling emails, and maintaining Excel spreadsheets (tracking data, coordination, reporting) I currently have a career gap in terms of formal industry roles and want to transition into the data field. I’m open to learning required technical skills and building projects. My questions: Is aiming for a junior Data Engineer role more realistic than Data Analyst or Analytics Engineer roles for someone with my background? Which role has a lower entry barrier for freshers or career switchers? What learning path would you recommend based on my experience? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
